    Would make sense, will likely hinge on who Lakers get with remaining cap space

    I get it, I do. I’m just to excited to be worried right now. This is a risk we had to take IMO though, especially after KD and Klay both went down, this is the season to go out and steal a chip. Also, Woj is reporting we can offer AD a projected 5 year $205.3 mil deal next summer. You combine the most money available to be offered, with him being on THE specific team he asked to be traded to, and I can’t see him leaving. The FO gave up a lot to get him, I don’t think they do so unless they know through Rich Paul he is staying, same reason the C Bags would NOT offer Tatum in a deal because they were told he would not re-sign with them.

    I wish I could like this post multiple times. Mostly because I hope you’re right. And AD can make up that 4 mil in endorsements in LA the first month he’s here!

    Having Lebron AND AD going into Free Agency is going to be massive for us.

    You don’t need any PowerPoint slide shows anymore!

    I'll post this again in the 2019 Free Agency thread once we have one but for now this is a good spot I thought.



    I'm not sure its possible but I'd love it if we could some how sign either - Kawhi, Kyrie, or Butler and then sign Nikola Vucevic with the mid level exception so AD can play his natural position - PF and we have a skilled shooting big man.

    I’m starting to get dizzy



    Gotta hold onto those picks if you’re Ainge, you know, stockpile them and never use them for anything.

    It’s not possible, if we signed a 3rd max guy, we only have the room exception and vet min. To have a player in the style of Vuc we’d have to try and get Brook Lopez back.

    So, now what? Tatum not that great? LOL
    Also, Pels are trading either Zo or that no.4 pick.

    none of this will matter if they don't go out and sign a big name FA and shooters

    AD, LBJ, and kuzma are not making the playoffs

    Recorded this off SportsCenter real quick because while I don’t love Nichols, I believe what she said was very important, and there isn’t any doubt she speaks to these players directly pretty regularly.

    Could we sign a free agent at a discount on a 1+1 deal, and then they opt out and we give them a full max next summer even if we don’t have the full cap space? Or would we not have their bird rights yet?

    Also, are we going to have a general free agency thread?

    I don’t know the answer to the first part of your post, but as far as a free agency thread, we’ve been using this one all year

    lakersball.com/threads/2018-19-players-transactions-breaking-news-in-trades-rumors.2599/

    It isn’t an official free agency thread though, it’s just been used for that til now. I’d say if you want one feel free to make one, will definitely be useful with things about to get crazy the next few weeks.

    Woke up at 1AM to see this. Awesome! We got one of the top players in the league, a true 2-way player. And we kept Kuzma.

    Let’s go get Kawhi, Kyrie or Butler, sign McGee+Caruso and then we can compete for that 19-20 championship. We’re back!
